This attractive double hemisphere world map is from an unidentified source. The title draws attention to the new discoveries of Captain James Cook in the Pacific Ocean. A later manuscript annotation identifies Bass Strait in Australia. Five keys identify specifically the longitude and latitude of these discoveries.
